Sandvik has announced it has initiated a pilot project to deploy a second-life battery energy storage system (BESS) at to-be-determined Glencore assets. The BESS is expected to support mine services such as lighting and light EV charging at the Glencore operations. Sandvik will study additional use cases during the pilot, including power shifting, peak shaving and arbitrage.
Sandvik’s technology partner in the project is ECO STOR AS, a leading second-life energy storage system provider. ECO STOR will utilize its BESS expertise to develop the solution with modules recovered from Sandvik BEVs that have reached their optimal use in mobile mining applications.
“The modularity of our battery packs provides a strong foundation to build energy storage systems from second-life modules and create a valuable use for ‘used’ batteries,” said Ville Laine, Vice President, Batteries and Chargers at Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions.
